QUEEN last night was revived with the latest sound! This work, realistic Live album of “August 9, Knebworth Park concert 1986” which attracted a large crowd of 150,000 people. Freddie is the last performance. Kano is a brush-up version of the Daimyo board “THANK YOU ALL.”
First, let me explain from “THANK YOU ALL.” Was to be met with this memorial should be concerts, master craftsman taper Crazy. S said. In masterpiece of leading among his collection, is known for “ELECTRIC MAGIC (Amsterdam)” from ancient times. This “ELECTRIC MAGIC”, I gem that boasts about great sound is said to be a disconnect the historical significance “in the audience recording of QUEEN entering the five fingers”, but it still was a generation fall master superimposed dubbing. So, Crazy. In response EMPRESS the original cassette itself from Mr. S himself directly, I was that was produced in 2007, “THANK YOU ALL.” Of course, recording time is long, the work that sound was also dramatically improved, the “Freddie Ma queue Lee last performance” gave us deliver on our original in the best quality.
Eight years from that shock lords board of. As we already introduce to again everyone was sold out masterpiece, is again Crazy. This work was once again digitized with the latest digital mastering technology from Mr. S of the original cassette. Of course, because it is the original recording was even a generator dropped “Best of QUEEN 5”, perfect sound that does not require a makurakotoba of “In those days” is popping out come.

This sound, dimension is different from just a high-quality and high-quality sound. After all that time, it happened on the scene, it is where the master cassette sucked the vibration to have the atmosphere directly. Coming blowing from the speaker is definitely “sound”, “music” that should such of it, but actually felt like a “scene of the air”. it was also not 30 years ago the United Kingdom carried out, also inclusive wind pressure until the expiration of Freddie and spectators. Until the raw smell of vegetation Tayutau in August of Knebworth Park reality also is wafting. Enough to not want to stale three-letter “realistic” it’s Musekae~tsu to mellow smell. This freshness is equivalent to “THANK YOU ALL”, but the latest technology this time, until the fine vibe, such as challenge to the human hearing also picked up from the cassette, the optimal balance to play in modern standard audio environment It was trimmed. It is, of course, do not do unrefined a Manet, such as breaking the vivid of Motooto, win a spot in the jerk and musical sound, I more direct feeling is increasing. Reality of “Who Wants To Live Forever” as spelled in this sound, I would like your experience by all means ….
This work as well as “THANK YOU ALL”, it has decided also the day of the video to the press DVD. This is the image that captures a day in the field screen in the auditorium shooting. Of course, the 1980s and screen shot is the pixel and screen texture of but not be compared with the modern digital image, because the screen of the site is the professional multi-camera that was repeated bands and Kamerariha has been projected, spectacular is not the same as a professional shot. Sound is also added to the original video voice, Crazy. Top specification which you can select the S’s best master. If you happened on the scene, at the sound of the best position, if you were to be staring at the screen, it’ll be that you can do the same experience with this work. Of course, such a thing I even at the scene physically impossible, the coexistence of the “spectacle” the ideal “sound” of such an ideal, and yet the “Freddie last brave figure” in the reality of the field recording with plenty full You can taste the small. This is the other, you may experience a music of which even lined up in the feel of the site. “Tutti Frutti” and rolled boil venue in, take off the jacket to force out the “Bohemian Rhapsody” Freddie. Slowly breathing sense of drinking sip water. Here, in this place, flesh and blood of Freddie he has dedicated himself to the music alive ….

2015 also now Brian May and Roger Taylor to is alive and well, will tell the vibe of QUEEN in the 21st century of Earth. However, we are not stop love “four QUEEN” disappeared forever this day at the end, it is not anymore anywhere in the universe. Never again, “and to sluggish the audience and the air” thing is I’ve gone. The trembling of the last of the air, a cassette tape that has the last throb, inhale as much as inhalable in the field. The concert tape there is only one in this world has been real experience, and I press a 2CD + DVD that was reproduced in fidelity and best shape as possible.
While set a crown “Good night, sweet dreams. We love you!” And Freddie to tell the last farewell. If me also revive him in Buddha God, it is alleged genius scientist If me make a time machine, this work did not need. But, if it does not come true, at least it Is not that not only will experience person in this work. Can far from us as the Almighty, one such as prayer. This weekend, we will deliver to you.
